Is the $450 Crosswalk Soon To Be The $1,000 Crosswalk?

It turns out that the 11-line crosswalk on Prospect Avene at Rossman is more expensive than the $450 I originally estimated last week.  DPW also installed two pedestrian crossing signs for the crosswalk, so let's add another $200 to the total.  With labor and installation costs, we are approaching, or possibly exceeding, $800 for one crosswalk, I think.  Money still well spent to save a life or two, no doubt. (The signs and crosswalk haven't slowed traffic one bit, though, I guarantee that!)

And, surprise surprise, sometime in the past few days a second $42 line in the crosswalk decided to disintegrate.  Add another hundred dollars to the crosswalk when DPW decides to replace those missing lines.
